From one of the best in the Mosel, and just an outstanding effort. Very expressive on the nose with peaches, flowers, indian spices and a distinct terroir-driven minerality. Similar on the palate, but much more lush. Creamy, chalky and almost heavy, but with a pleasant vein of acidity on the finish. Tingly and acidic, yet plush and rich. Tart, yet fruity. Balanced in almost every way. Delicious now, but this wine could use a while in bottle where it is sure to turn from exciting to downright decadent.
